CPI-Maoist Trying to Establish a Channel in Nagaland

Minister of State for Home Affairs, Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary on Wednesday said left wing extremist (LWE) outfit CPI (Maoist) is trying to establish a separate channel in Nagaland primarily to source weapons. The outfit has also developed close fraternal ties with other North-East insurgent groups like the Revolutionary People’s Front (RPF) / People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of Manipur. Both the outfits have agreed upon mutual cooperation in the areas of training, funding, supply of arms and ammunition.

Disclosing this at the Rajya Sabha, Chaudhary also pointed out that the CPI (Maoist) was trying to establish organizational bases in the North East with a view to forge relations with other insurgent groups to meet its military requirements. He said the Upper Assam Leading Committee (UALC) of the CPI (Maoist) is presently operating in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh and have been involved in incidents of looting of weapons and extortion from local villagers.

The UALC has also been engaged in recruitment and training of cadres for the outfit in Assam. These cadres have been utilized in extensive propaganda against mega dams in Assam. In this backdrop, Assam-Arunachal border has emerged as another theatre of Maoist activity. Likewise, the CPI (Maoist) is also making efforts to strengthen its influence in South India, particularly on the tri-junction of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. Their plans include creating a base on the border of Kerala and Karnataka, Chaudhary stated.

The statement from the Minister of State comes in the backdrop of media and intelligence reports of the CPI (Maoist) making inroads to the North East. According to a report of the Institute for Defence Studies and Analysis (IDSA) in 2012, some arrested Maoists had disclosed that the CPI-Maoist has been trying to establish contact with arms traffickers in Dimapur, Nagaland, for Chinese- and European-made arms. A DNA report in 2014 suggested that the Maoists have been trying to get active in the northeast, especially among the tea tribes Adivasis whose stock comes from the tribal population of contiguous regions of Jharkhand, Bihar and Chhattisgarh.
